Abreu has never played first base in his 17 year career but the Red Sox had Abreu go through drills at first base.

Boston agreed to terms with free agent Mike Napoli in early December, however, the team reportedly has concerns with the health status of Naopli and his contract status with the team is in limbo.

Any deal with Abreu would likely be a minor-league deal.

Abreu turns 39 in March and is coming off a season in which he hit .242 with a .693 OPS for the Angels and Dodgers over 100 games and 257 plate appearances.

It is unlikely that the team will sign the veteran outfielder.
